Another Galactic Merchants Preview

Update: S.H.Figuarts Yoda Not Coming Soon
BANDAI’s S.H.Figuarts line looks to be breaking into the Star Wars universe with this teaser on Tamashii Nations’ blog. For the uninitiated, S.H.Figuarts produce a line of figures that are intended to replicate, with precision, the natural movements of the human body. It will be interesting to see their approach with Yoda’s species.
Thanks to Geof from the SWActionNews Facebook page for the tip.

Facebook Preview: Ben Kenobi Mythos Statue
As I finalize the photography and put the finishing touches on the toyguide update, check out our Facebook page for a preview of the Ben Kenobi – Desert Nomad Mythos statue from Sideshow Collectibles. It is by far one of the coolest pieces ever produced by their team.
